Abstract
A novel regioregular polymer comprising alternating 1,4-phenylene and 3-but yl-2,5-thienylene repeat units has been synthesized and characterized using H-1 NMR, FTIR, UV-VIS absorption and fluorescence emission spectroscopy. T he derived polymer showed strong fluorescence with a solution quantum yield of 48% relative to quinine sulfate and a film phase photoluminescence yiel d of 17%. Green light-emitting diodes were fabricated using the polymer as the emitter layer.
